Ah very good, thank you. Shame the text is too fragmentary to get much info out of.

We have made much use of Peeter Espak's 2006 master thesis "Ancient Near Eastern Gods Enki and Ea" I have recently become aware that his 2010 dissertation "The God Enki in Sumerian Royal Ideology and Mythology" is also available: hdl.handle.net/10062/15915

My university has become a member of ArticleReach Direct which now means that I can probably get almost any journal article that exists. arlir.iii.com/If anyone is looking for a particular article - send me a message and I'll see if it is available.

Noting here that the CDLI online sign lists web link has changed (again): cdli.ox.ac.uk/wiki/sign_listsAnd that the Altbabylonische Zeichenliste text is now available on the 'box (which is otherwise out of print). This completes the availability of sign lists for all periods. Still looking for just a few other texts (especially for a couple by Englund and Nissen)

Texts available for free at OAPEN Library www.oapen.orgI see that a couple of books by Wolfgang Schramm are available: an Akkadian signlist and a collection of incantations. Might need to search the website for more items of interest.

WOW! This is a fantastic discovery madness! The OAPEN library looks promising - they need time to expand but I haven't seen a site with a function and promise like this since library.nu. and I loved libray.nu Thanks very much for sharing. So far I have downloaded: Wolfgang Shramm Akkadisches Logogramme Schramm_Sumerisch_Akkadischer_Beschworungen

Directory of Open Access Journals www.doaj.org/Haven't looked through this site yet so I don't know if there is much to be found. But there's always one or two good things on sites like these.

The Mythology of Kingship in Neo-Assyrian ArtMehmet-Ali Atac I got the hardcover of this book a few years ago since Atac has some insightful things to say about the sacred tree. And for some reason the text has appeared here: archive.org/details/TheMythologyOfKingshipInNeo-assyrianArtDownload it before it's removed.

Excellent - thanks Madness! I may need to write a paper on kingship in various periods of Meso. history this semester, so this may be of good use

Nice finds Madness thanks very much! Yes I loveee archive.org. What better goal could an organization have than the copying and preservation of all human knowledge, for the sake of posterity and the education of the masses etc? And yet I see the are already obliged to remove numerous of the links you have put up, I think I got most of the works I was lacking though You're awesome.

In fact the first link and the one before the last do not work for me. I mean in the last post. Thank you anyway.

Now here is the kind of PhD dissertation that we have always wanted to see: At the beginning... Cosmogony, theogony and anthropogeny in Sumerian texts of the third and second millennium BCEby Johannes Jacobus Wilhelmus Lisman, dated 15 April 2013 Covers a range of early creation stories (Barton cylinder, NBC 11108, etc.), god lists, theogonies (Enki-Ninki deities, Namma, etc.), and a whole lot more. This looks like it will be the single most important resource for this kind of thing. hdl.handle.net/1887/20756The only problem: it is under embargo until October next year. Arrrg.

Wow nice! Yes this work by Lisman looks very promising! It reminds me at first glance of a work "In the Beginning" By Ake Sjoberg (in Riches Hidden in Secret Places...2002). But as great as that contribution was, it was only a 20 page chapter in a volume. It looks like Lisman will go into much larger detail. I can't wait to see his presentation of the ED data, and it would be great to get ahold of the relevant tablet number. But yes - unfortunate that they must put a hold on it until Oct. 2014.

A book that I received yesterday
Babylonian Creation Myths W. G. Lambert Eisenbrauns 2013
Published posthumously, this is certainly Lambert's most outstanding work. In addition to containing the most up-to-date edition of Enūma Eliš, extensive commentary is given on the fifty names of Marduk, the battles in the myth, the creation of the universe out of the body of Tiāmat, and more.
But that only covers the first two parts of this five part book - in part three, editions of a further sixteen (16!) Babylonian stories of creation, plus six mythological introductions, are offered. In part four, theogonies are discussed - of Enlil, the Enki-Ninki deities; of Anu, Anšar-Kišar, Duri-Dari, etc.; and Namma herself is given an indepth analysis (as the "closest parallel" of Tiāmat). Part five is a summary of Enūma Eliš.
At 640 pages and measuring 8.5x11 this is larger than your average hardcover, and it is well worth every cent it costs. Combined with Lisman's dissertation (when it becomes available) we will have detailed information for just about every creation story Mesopotamia has to offer.

Great links Madness. Will use some of them for the "Deities..." thread.

Wow- these links are *awesome* - thanks very much Madness! I know people who would be quite interested in the emesal stuff. I had no ideal that MSL (Materials for a Sumerian lexicon) had been digitized. And there are tons of other nice materials at chicago site like ABL and AnOr and even a van Buren book on foundation figurines (which I used in my last paper). I will definitely alert some people on campus to these links, and will have to tell them my friend from Australia found them - if you send me you last name sometimes I'll use that instead
